Jessie first came to me for photos when she was 13. She and her friends came for a fashion shoot party to celebrate a birthday. This is her holding the portrait I produced 6 years ago.

So, it was great to be approached by he mum a few weeks ago to photograph her family at their home in Eastbourne.

Photographing Jess and her family was like returning from a long time away, catching up and hearing about what everyone was up to, their amazing achievements and stories of their lives. It had only been 6 years, but so much had happened.

Being able to watch so many families grow is a probably one of my favourite aspects of being a photographer. To be able to record their story, allowing families to build an emotional collection of stunning photographs.
